An awesome class especialy bc of the debates and slack attendance policy. Id take him again but he doesnt teach much.
Great speaker, knows what he's talking about. Sounds and acts very educated. No attendance policy. Great professor, I'm going to take another one of his classes because he's that good.
Awesome class, great attendance policy
great teacher. i would like to take another one of his courses if i get the chance. funny, smart, knows the material he teaches.
Reggie knows whats up. I took his classes for four straight semesters and loved everyone of them. Take as many of his classes as possible, you won't regret it.
Reggie's the man, impossibe to get anything less then a C in his class
he is so funny! there is no attendance policy- but go, it helps a lot in the tests! he is really open and upbeat on everything, introduce yourself at the begining and he will love you all year!
Shareefy is the best professor your gonna get. He knows his stuff and you dont have an attendance policy, but going to class was always worth hit. He even helped me get out of jail!
Coolest teacher ever. No attendance policy, 2 test and 2 discussions, the whole semester. He's funny, easy, and discusses controversial topics. He goes over the material enough you could come to 1 class a week and know whats up. PS, watches Chappell

Dr. Shareef is the coolest teacher you can possibly get! He is funny and he knows that we want to have fun. The class is interesting, Shareef makes sure that he keeps it fun! Thanks Dr. Shareef!
Dr. Shareef is the best teacher that i've ever had. I would take every course that i can when he's the teacher. I did little to nothing and got a B. I did however learn a lot, because he speaks so that you want to learn.
LOVE REGGIE SHAREEF!!! Never have actually WANTED to go to a class before. So interesting, easy, but if you really pay attention to him you'll learn A LOT. I recommend him all the time.
Great class. Dr. Shareef has a lot of information to give you. He's very very helpful. If you try you will make an A for sure. 2 tests 2 debates is the grade. VERY FUN class!!!
Dr. Shareef is the BEST professor I have ever ever ever had! He cares about each and every student. He will help you with ANYTHING and then make a joke out of it. He keeps class fun. TAKE THIS CLASS! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Very good. Take him all you can.
Dr. Shareef is awesome! His lectures are hilarious and he'll do everything he can to help you. Class is optional and never takes attendance or holds it against you. 2 tests..they're hard.
Shareef is the man. He is probbably the most interesting person I have ever met in my whole life. There is no attendance policy on his classes but you should definatly go anyways-he definatly makes it worth your time. Plus he knows his****, Shareef is a political science god.
Awesome class. 2 tough tests, 3 debates, optional attendance.
Shareef will knock your socks off during every lecture. He might be the coolest professor I have ever had. When he tells you something you should write it down because it is going to come in hand later in life. I want to get pulled over now so I can assert my 4th amendment rights.

He is amazing. He will help you with anything you ask him to so don't be scared. His tests are kind of hard so study a lot and do especially well on the debates. To this day I still keep in touch with him and it has been over two years since I was in his class.
He is real smart and he is very helpful. If you can't do well in his class then you are just plain dumb
The best Political Science professor ever, he is open minded and the debates in his class were very fun !!!
The best teacher i've had so far! His tests are kinda tricky but as long as you actually go to class and listen to what he actually says you'll do well. He's an overall really cool guy!
he was the best! so funny
Shareef is an awesome teacher! This class was so much fun. you have to participate in 2 of 4 exams, but they're alot of fun...2 tests - a little tricky but just listen to his lectures. there's no attendance policy but you should go anyways because he's soooo interesting. have fun
SHAREEF IS THA****
I had this guy numerous times for poli sci classes I would take any class this man offers. By far one of the best professors the university has to offer. Just a blast to talk to and he can really relate to anything that you can bring forth. Everyone should take at least one of his classes.
Dr. Shareef is by far one of the best teachers on campus. I enjoy goin to his class even though there is no attendance policy. He really connects with his student, you have to particpate in 2/4 debates and then you take 2 exams all semester, tests are somewhat simple as long as you know the stuff, he makes u think, i would take him again if possib

Awesome guy. The class consisted of two tests which were fairly challenging, and four debates (two of which were required). The subject matter was very interesting, and he'll play devil's advocate with you just to get you to argue. If you like to speak your opinion on real-world issues, then I definitely recommend the Shareef!
Dr. Shareef is one of the best professors at RU. I recommend taking any of his classes. You are exposed to real life situations, not just textbook information. Great info. on Bill of Rights and Supreme Court cases. No attendance policy, but you will want to come to class. Debates are a lot of fun, too!
His class is a joke. Had him for public policy and he did not discuss anything resembling public policy issues. His examples always involved basketball, girls gone wild, or his BMW. His tests were not hard but unless you write exactly what's in his head, he gives you a bad grade. Unless you enjoy wasting time, I do NOT recommend!
Great professor! Grade is an average of 2 debates and 3 exams. Debates are easy and very fun. I wish I could take him again for another class. Highly Recommended.
AMAZING teacher/class...more than willing to help you just have to ask, keeps classes entertaining!
Although I'm a RU alumni.Prof. Shareef is a kind of professor needed in the classroom to teach real life public admin, debates. His eagerness to engage the students is the greatest skill one can use to get students to develop their own perception on issues - thats what the legal field is about.Dr. Shareef if you are reading this you are the greates
awesome
AWESOME! He's my favorite teacher. He always makes class so so funny. and attendance is not mandatory, and he always cancels class. Last week we didn't have any class at all. I would highly suggest taking him if you can, he's a really good teacher and it's really easy and he wants it to be!
Very easy teacher you have 2 debates which he basically gives you an A if you do it and the exams are pretty easy if u go to class. Otherwise good prof and you learn a lot about life in class
Dr. Shareef is one of the best profs. I have had here at Radford! He is really funny and his classes are very interesting to attend. There is no attendence policy, but you will never want to miss this class. You will have to participate in 2 debates then you just have your midterm and final. TAKE THIS CLASS!!! You will love it!!!
No attendance policy, open book take home group tests, once a week classes usually. Very intelligent, applies social psychology and organizational theory to public and foreign policy and politics. A novel approach and it will make you smarter and look at things better. He is extremely kind and if you ask him questions he will really inform you.
He is a great professor! He teaches students not only about what we need to know for the exam but also everything that he covers can be very useful in life. He wants his students to be well educated people and know their rights.
Leon Phelps ain't got nothing on Dr. Shareef. You will remember him for the rest of your life if you take his class. He always has hot girls comming by in the middle of class just to say high..they love him, I love him..Shareef, its a household name.
the best thing about shareef is that he has a sense of humor, he really lets the students decide their own views, he cancels friday classes all the time (YES!)and he reiterates everything that's on the test for days before it. take shareef for this class or any class- i can't imagine you'd ever regret it!
Shareef is the man, He is funny and cool as hell. Reggie got the material through in a fun way, optional attendence, Best teacher I've had at Radford
Awesome guy! Very cool, great sense of humor. Fairly light work load, but the material can get confusing and so can the tests are can be confusing as well, but he curves them. Class usually gets out early and he cancels every once in a while.
Dr. Shareef is a great professor. He really cares about his students and does everything he can to relate and help you learn. Your grade relies solely on exams so if you skip class you may fail easily. If you go to class you will learn a lot and he will make everything very clear. Show up to class, don't disrespect him, and you'll get a good grade.
hes a nice guy, very funny, knows his stuff but his tests are rough and doesnt explain things as well as he could
by far the best teacher in the department! makes everything very easy to understand. no attendance policy, but its so interesting you wont want to skip! great dude, great class! take him if you can!
shareef is awesome. he talks about himself in 3rd person but not in the annoying way, very funny! hard tests but curves them, i felt like i failed them all and i got a b
My favorite professor in the political science department. He's funny and realistic. You can get a B if you don't come to class but if you want an A, you'll have to go. But you should enjoy it his classes
No attendance policy, but you will probably do better if you attend, especially on exam review days. He gave copies of the old exam as a guideline. Exams were multiple choice. I didn't use the book once.
Best professor in the department! i never skipped a class even though there was no attendance policy! SHAREEF IS THE MAN!
He actually makes the class interesting and you will want to go even though he doesn't take attendance.Favorite quote of the year "John you're white and your girl fried is white. Now if your baby come out black, that aint your baby, that's Dr. Shareefs baby and your and your girl is gonna want an abortion." -Dr. Shareef on aboution.
TAKE THIS CLASS. Emails what happened in class and tells you what will be on the test or give you a study guide. Go to class because it is really interesting but you can skip if you absolutely need to. Super nice!! Talk with him after class so he knows who you are>>helps your grade!
Awesome teacher, really enjoyed the class. NO attendance policy and he honestly doesn't care if you only show up for exams. Only gives two exams and a final. Usually gives last years exams to help study.
Shareef is a GREAT professor. Even though I got a low grade, it was a very interesting class & you can tell he loves what he is doing. There is No Attendance Policy, but I suggest going to EVERY class and reading ALL the material. If you read all the material and go there is no way you won't get an A.
Great teacher but it would have been nice to have used more materials other than pieces that he wrote up; it started to feel like their was some bias in the material. Sends out the material through email but does not use D2L so you have to keep up with your own grade. Tests are easy if you study some before hand and the make up all of the grade.
Shareef is a great professor! Exams were on material he went over in class. Study a little beforehand and you will get a good grade!
Awesome teacher! Keeps all of us interested for the entire class. Didn't have a bad day in his class at all.
He was a very lenient teacher. Doesn't teach the best but it's an easy A. Only graded on three tests. He gives last years test as a study guide. He doesn't have an attendance policy and he says if you're tired of his voice you can walk out and he won't care. A very chill guy who makes class funny and interesting. Try to take him!
Very easy class if you read the material. Gives you last year's exams to study off of. No attendance policy. Very helpful and responds to emails quite fast. Only downfall is he doesn't use D2L. Loved this class because he kept it light and interesting!
He was really easy to talk to and it helps if you participate in class!
Shareef is my favorite professor this semester. He isn't too strict and grades fairly easy. He doesn't have an attendance policy which is great sometimes. He's topics are relatable to current life as a young adult.
He is very explicit at what he wants us to study for and he gives us basically study guides, which is awesome
makes it easy to study for him.
Shareef is a great guy, very funny, and extremely helpful. I rarely showed up to class but I kept up with all the material because he e-mails everything! He sends you what he wants you to read for the next class, I took notes and emailed him when I had questions, and he responds quickly. He gives advice about how to study and sends old exams.
Favorite Professor thus far in college. He is a funny guy who wants to have a relationship with each of his students. His lectures are interesting and you learn more than just politics. I never skipped a class, though there is not an attendance policy. LOVE him. Take this class. You will NOT regret it.
Great class. The information that he presented was very clear. In order to do well it is important to come to class where he can explain things even though he will email the material after class. The tests aren't bad if you review well.
Overall great dude
Dr. Shareef is extremely educated in all the topics we discussed. There are readings in the coursepack and a few in the textbook, but he goes over everything in class. He communicates after every class through email, but doesn't use D2L. His humor is refreshing and he definitely makes things interesting. There is absolutely no attendance policy
Dr. Shareef is an awesome professor. IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO TAKE POSC 120 TAKE IT WITH HIM. His class was easy and he was very well educated on every topic we covered in lecture. He doesn't use D2L though but it didn't matter since there are only 3 exams. His sense of humor is refreshing and isn't scared to be real with you.
Dr. Shareef is the nicest and funniest professor ever. Clearly very educated on all the topics gone over in class, and explains them in many different ways so it can be clearly understood. As long as you attend class and review your notes before the 3 tests (only graded assignments in course) you will absolutely do well in this course.
The class is only based on 3 exam grades. If you show up for lectures and take notes you should pass. Although, there is no attendance policy. Dr. Shareef is very educated on the subject matter of this course. very easy guy to get along with
Lectures a lot but he knows his stuff, enjoy listening to him lecture actually.
Literally you don't even have to show up. He sends you the sample tests and notes to your email. I only showed up on test days and youll pass. The sample tests are your actual test.
Only bad thing about taking his class is that there are only 3 grads total. You take 3 exams and if you miss one you do not pass the class and he doesnt give make up exams. But he does give you your exam basically word for word to study at least a week before you take it
Overall, an interesting class
Great professor, goes hard on the lectures. Only three exams and can't miss them. He is so passionate about what he's teaching. Attendance is not mandatory and he sends out practice tests very similar to the actual test. Easy A!!!
Dr. Shareef is an amazing person but I would not take him again because of how he structures his class. Beware he does group projects for EVERY assignment so pick a good group! Attendance is definitely not necessary and dont bother buying the course packs. Didnt use it.
Prof. Sharif is a good teacher, he is so passionaite about the things he's teaching about. The lectures are easy and he sends an email about everything we are going to talk about in class. There are only 3 exams, so you can't miss them.
I went to class the first day and only the day of exams. I got an A+ for the course. Shall I say more?
Dr. Shareef is very passionate about his class which makes it so much more enjoyable. The class is very much a discussion so learning is easy as long as you care. He emails the notes the night before so having them in class helps a lot.
He is a pretty good professor, however only gives 3 tests, and those are your only grades all semester.
Dr Shareef will go on semi-relevant tangents about his own opinions, and loosely connected topics. He's a very nice guy. Doesn't really promote class discussion, but that's ok because the class is simple. He provides everything you need to answer the take home exam questions (done in groups) exactly how he wants you to. One final group presentation
The worst professor I have had at Radford University by far. Tests you on material not even taught and is not very helpful.
he makes the material hard to read. he only gives 3 tests with only few questions, that mainly not taught. if i could rate lower than 1, i would
He likes to talk about things that do not relate to the material during class. He makes you read a lot of articles about topics he barely analyzes. He only gives three tests to make your grade for the class. The tests have few questions and are not actually based off of the readings. He sometimes makes false claims and the class has to correct him.
This professor is unprofessional and beyond rude. He expects you to be available outside of the scheduled times of the class and if your not he will send you a very unprofessional email complaining. I have never met such a rude professor. Please avoid this professor at all costs!
Professor is extremely rude. Whenever responding to emails he will personally call you out for any mistakes to the entire class. Professor has a very low maturity level and is extremely unprofessional.
took both 300/335, half online cos covid. did miss a couple of classes but I liked his lectures, he can get off topic but just pay attention & read the articles he sends the day before and youre golden! I loathe group work but this wasnt as bad! He lets you pick your group and everyone just wants to pass! Got an A in both:)
The WOSRT Professor EVER!!! Absolutely and completely rude and unprofessional. Expects you to be available outside of class Tim and dont even think about politely email that you are working during times he expects you to be available without him emailing the whole class complaining. Learner absolutely nothing. Avoid at all costs.
